    So, you don’t actually know? Assumptions are being made? 

    I used the word "likely" for a reason. Far from a shot in the dark, but yes, I wasn't physically there so I can't definitely give you the 100% guarantee. This pattern repeats itself throughout the US, which is why you can make the claim that it's [very] likely certain things. 

     

    Join me next time for more lawyerball practice

  2. If you love roads, don't go bitching about road taxes. Any given road you're driving on isn't taxing you hard enough to use it to pay for itself. You're getting subsidized every step of the way.

  3. There's no such thing as "free parking", there's just parking with the cost baked into the price of what you're there for. And a steep cost it is!

     

    If anyone loves free parking everywhere they go, I 100% don't want to hear them bitch about the reasonable concept of public transit not charging at the point of consumption.

    They can comprehend it just fine. 

    In case it wasn't obvious, the above was an example of horrendous zoning and design practices. It's as if someone hated the concept of walking with the utmost passion, and was trying to maximize arbitrary miles driven. Hopefully each restaurant has a valet while they're at it.

     

    If I assembled a team of random mentally challenged individuals and gave them total freedom to design an area without regulation, I'm confident they'd come up with something better.

  5. I think I'm in agreement with you. When Rush just up and stopped after the short R40 tour in 2015, I kind of just tried to forget about the band itself. Listened to little of the music and didn't think much of for a few years. Once Neil died, I started remembering a bit more, listening to a little more of the music again. When Geddy's book was announced, I really started thinking about the band and how long they were a big part of my life. Reading the book nearly instantly upon release felt like reliving parts of my younger life, and like you, it felt like the closure I didn't know I needed, but ended up happy to have.

     

    Thanks for 400 pages of word salad, Geddy!

    Franco’s Metro, an independent Italian joint. It’s been around for almost 40 years, I think it was a Planned Parenthood in the 70s. 

    Maybe it'll close soon. Lots and lots of restaurants are open for 25-40 years, and then the original owners try to pass the business onto the kids, who have no interest in it.

    attend city council meetings together to show that there is a demand

    I 100% support this every time.

     

    Relatively few residents go to city council meetings. Showing up has a huge impact. Usually it's full of 75+ year old people having their way... since young people didn't show up.
